I read the book Summer Basketball, by Mike Lupica. This book was about a thirteen year-old boy named Danny Walker. Danny is a very small kid for his age, and is asked to attend a summer basketball camp. When he first gets to the camp, things start to go bad for Danny right away. He is placed in a cabin with eleven and twelve year-old kids instead of kids his own age. While at camp, Danny met some new friends who enjoy the sport, but were also bigger than him. He begins to lose interest towards the end of the camp, and comes with a plan to fake an injury so he would get sent home and not have to play. However his best friend, Tess, has a cabin across the lake from his camp. He uses her for motivation because he doesn’t want to disappoint her.

Although, the average person always considers the winter break to be the worst on the hungry; however, Anna argues differently saying, “but while the Christmas holidays make for the heartrending copy, summer is really ground zero in the battle to keep kids fed.” This is likely due to the fact that most working families receive Christmas bonuses during the Holiday break, but in the summer time those same
